Find and Replace problem

[StarLord1337]

Hi everyone,

I have problem with Find and Replace function.  I want to find every titles which are in Cambria font, 18p., bold (its just an example) and i want to replace them with my paragraph style. But when i set everything and choose find and replace all, it found only one title... (and there are lot of this titles with this styling)

Any tips what should i do? Thanks

Hi,

did you Check, that there is no character style applied as well?

[StarLord1337]

I did, all titles are just same.. At the beginning, i thought, that maybe text-align is the problem, but it also didnt help

[teachbit]

When you choose find/replace you have no text selected and the text cursor is positioned at the beginning of the text?

The search field has to be empty. Only the find format has to in use. Search in document and case sensitive correctly set.

Good luck

Showing us your F/C dialog box is helpful.

In addition to what was said above, keep an eye on the Search menu (in the top orange box). It defaults to Selection when you have a selection and then will not match a string that you have correctly defined and are looking at. Change it to Story or Document.

Text has to be activated, not GREP. As in Barbs screenshot.

Even with TEXT activated is not working... But our graphic teacher told us, that we should define titles only with font size not with font family... and its working, but its not a solution. So i have no idea what to do.

I shoudl have tell you this at first.. at the beginning we copy a book from word a put it into InDesign... Can it be a problem?

Show another screen shot with the Text tab showing and maybe we can catch the error.

There are more titles like this and it only replace this first

For Search/Prohledat:

Your first said “Dokument”; this says “Do konce clankh”

If your titles are in separate stories, it needs to say Document/Dokument. Does changing that help?

[StarLord1337]

It didnt help

Be sure that the specs you are trying to match are exactly the same as the ones assigned to the text, and that you are searching either the Story or Document.

If so, and it's still not working, reset your InDesign preferences and/or delete your cache files.
